The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 485 Hear You In Person

The next day at StarTech Co. Ltd, Anna arrived at the lobby calmly.

"Ms. Anna, are you here to see Director Shelby?" the receptionist asked with a smile.

"Yes. I want to see him," Anna answered without any hesitation.

She had read Jacob’s reply.

However, she did not believe it!

If he wanted to say that he did not like her, then he should tell her in person. She would not accept it in sheer cold texts.

"Alright, I'll let Director Shelby know." The receptionist made a phone call to the director’s office immediately.

Soon, she gazed at Anna regretfully, “Ms. Wright, I'm sorry, but Director Shelby is in the middle of something. I'm afraid he can't see you now."

Anna's hands clenched slightly into a fist.

'Jacob is busy?

'Is he really busy? Or does he just not want t o see me?’

"Anna, why are you here?" A somewhat surprised voice arose at that moment.

Seth was walking towards Anna.

Before Anna had the chance to speak, he had already given off a somewhat embarrassed expression. “Hey, I-I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to call you. But don't worry, I've rebuked

that dullard for you! He asked me to convey his apologies. He really didn't mean it when we were at the airport."

Anna gave off a smile, but she looked worse than when she was crying, "Is that s o?"

"Of course. Anna, you're such a marvelous girl. Blanchett is nothing compared to you!" Seth nodded.

Anna lowered her eyes. She then said after a long time, "You don't have to lie to me. I asked him personally, and he said he never liked me.”

Seth swallowed all words he was about to utter immediately, and he chuckled awkwardly, "That plank Jacob... He's still as direct as usual. Hahaha.”

Seth’s awkward laughter echoed in the lobby.

Anna stared at him in silence.

Seth took back his smile gradually. He then cleared his throat and said, "Shall we talk : n the corner over there?"

He pointed to a small space that specially opened up in the corner of the lobby.

"Okay." Anna pursed her lips and agreed to it.

The two sat down. Seth cleared his throat again and said, “Anna..."

"You don’t have to comfort me, I can take : t." Anna asserted in a calm voice that Seth could not understand. "I just want to hear him reject me in person."

Seth sighed, "But why?”

Anna gave off a wry chuckle, "It has been four years... I've loved him for four whole years. I-I won't be able to reconcile my defeat if I don’t get his rejection in person. I must figure it out no matter what:

Anna usually looked carefree, but at that moment, a hint of fragility could be seen in her fatigue eyes.

Seth felt a little uncomfortable as he gazed at her. He could not help but say, "I'll go get Jacob..."

As soon as he said so, the receptionist's voice could be heard.

"Director Shelby, why are you here? Ms. Wright is waiting for you over there.” The receptionist pointed at Anna's location.

Anna stood up immediately and stared at Jacob with her big eyes.

A faint hope flashed through her eyes.

Jacob... came to see her after all. Did this mean that Jacob still could not let go of her after all?

At that moment, an enthusiastic voice pierced through the crowd in the lobby. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Shelby, did you come down to pick me u p?" Blanchett walked in from the door and she was looking at Jacob with surprise now.

The hope in Anna's eyes was instantly swallowed into darkness.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Blanchett!

Jacob came down to see this woman?

She thought...

Jacob saw Blanchett and a slight surprise flashed through his eyes. He did not know that Blanchett would be here at this time.

Blanche was already walking towards him and enthusiastically wrapped around

Jacob's arm.

Jacob wanted to avoid it, but thinking that Anna was still watching at the side, he endured it.

Blanchett managed to hold Jacob’s arm. Her eyes glistened with a hint of glee." Shelby, are you free today? I just came to Canada and I'm fairly unfamiliar with the people and the place. Can you take me around?"

Jacob pursed his lips and glanced towards the direction where Anna was.

Anna just stood there, staring at the two of them without even a single blink.

Blanchett followed Jacob's sight and saw Anna too.

She could not help but say surprisingly, "M s. Wright, you're also here! Are you here looking for Mr. Leeds? The relationship between you two is really good. I truly hope that in the future, Shelby and I will have such a good relationship too."

"Hey, what are you talking about?” What Blanchett said was baffling and

inexplicable, and Seth could not help frowning.

"Why? Did I misunderstand?” Blanchett looked astonished, "I think, Mr. Leeds, you have always been very enthusiastic for Ms. Wright. Oh, are you still in the pursuing stage? Oh my God, I'm truly sorry, I shouldn't have said it out loud.”

Seth was left speechless.

Bah, he was pursuing Anna? What was this?

Before Seth reacted to anything, Jacob had already taken back his gaze faintly. He looked at Blanchett calmly and said, "I just finished my work, let me take you around.

"Okay, thanks, Shelby," Blanchett said cheerfully.

Anna was a little anxious. She walked over and grabbed Jacob, "Jacob, don't listen to her nonsense, there's nothing between Seth and me."

"Yeah. You should know me better than this. A big bust is a must, and Anna is still a bit short in that criteria, my minimum requirement is at least..." Seth started blabbering once again.

Anna could not help but glare at him.

Was this idiot helping her?

With Anna's glare, Seth realized that the occasion was inappropriate, and immediately shut his mouth obediently.

"Puff, you two are really interesting.

Blanchett could not help but chuckle.

Jacob's expression remained unchanged.

"Jacob, don't get me wrong, I..." Anna gritted her teeth and explained.

Jacob interrupted her directly, "Anna, you're the one who misunderstood. No matter what kind of relationship you have with Seth, what does it have to do with me? I would even give you my most

sincere blessing if both of you can really get together."

With that said, Jacob brought Blanchett along and left directly.

Anna stood there stunned as if she had just received a huge uppercut.

Jacob! He! Truly did not care?

Anna rushed to the door like a maniac. “ Jacob Shelby, you stand right there."

Jacob stopped and gazed at her indifferently, "Anything else?"

“You..." Anna condensed the last glimmer o f hope and glanced at Jacob quietly. "It has been four years. You really don't care about me at all?"

“I thought I had already made everything very clear through the phone yesterday," Jacob replied unconcernedly.
